Strike out on your own.

As Babe Ruth said, “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” He never let the naysayers prevent him from approaching the plate with a swagger and a smile. Yet plenty of people wanted to see him fail, and fail he did. Not only was the Babe called the “Sultan of Swat,” he was also known as the “King of Strikeouts.” In fact, he led the American League in whiffs five times, and accumulated 1,330 of them in his career. If he had been afraid of getting beaten at the plate, he never would have launched 714 dingers over the outfield fence. So take a tip from the Big Bambino; dare to fail, and laugh about it when you do. Then get back in the batter’s box and see what happens next!
